Case study 1: Turbine blade coatings
Blades are air cooled and coated to prevent melting
R&D with Rolls-Royce for 17 years
Increased operating temperature by 70 °C
Increased efficiency
Reduced emissions from RR-powered A330 and A340 by 1.0-1.6 kt CO2e/year
A total of 570 kt CO2e/year
Coated turbine blade

How big is the carbon brainprint?
Project Annual brainprint PeriodCeramic coatings for jet engine turbine blades
570 kt CO2e Retrospective
Improved vehicle logistics 14 kt CO2e Retrospective
Training for landfill gas inspectors 400 kt CO2e Retrospective
Novel offshore vertical axis wind turbines
1.7 kt CO2e for 1 GW
installed
Prospective
Intelligent buildings for energy management
Potential 20% reduction in CO2e
Prospective
Optimising defouling of oil-refinery preheat trains
> 1 kt CO2e per refinery Prospective

Where next?
Method is achievable
Relatively simple if
level of detail is managed
there has been monitoring of outcomes of past work
Big results like to be in areas that are
energy intensive
directly emit potent GHGs (methane, nitrous oxide)
